President Biden and other Democrats were determined to convince the American people that he is still the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump in November.
During a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, the president acknowledged his debate performance may not be what it used to be, but he emphasized his ability to get things done.
“I know how to do this job,” he declared confidently to the energized crowd, who chanted “four more years” at one point.
The rally was brief, lasting about 18 minutes, as noted by reporters in attendance.
Former President Barack Obama showed his support for Biden, acknowledging that “Bad debate nights happen” and criticizing Trump for his dishonesty.
Vice President Kamala Harris, appearing on CNN after the debate, focused on the future, emphasizing the importance of strengthening America’s economy and looking ahead to November.
The Biden campaign remained unfazed by the debate theatrics, continuing full steam ahead with fundraising events in North Carolina and other states.
